Foot Prints and Pennies

Chicken.  I have been craving fried chicken all week.  I went to the store and got a bag of fried chicken.  It smelled so good that I was worried that I might get attacked by a "Chicken Mugger" that might want fried chicken, too.  Well, I got home safely with my fried chicken and dove right into it.  I felt as if I went to "Chicken Heaven" and it tasted like that, too.

If I buy fried chicken at the deli it is already prepared and ready to go.  I don't need to cut it up, fry it up or clean up. In the long run it is cheaper than cooking from scratch, the energy of time, gas, and frying it myself.  It comes out to just about the same cost wise, as if I had done it all myself.  And the deli makes very good fried chicken.  I am now one happy chicken eater.  YUM!

There are all kinds of ads pushing consumers to buy gold.  I can't eat gold.  Gold is too heavy to carry around in your pocket, it isn't safe to have gold in your house, and the poor or near poor can not afford to buy gold, anyway.  Even the so-called middle class can not really afford to buy or own gold.  You just can't consume gold.  Only the affluent can delve into the gold market.

Everyone has a penny jar and that is where your currancy wealth lies. Start digging for gold in your penny jars and sift through all your spare change.  Look for pennies that were minted before 1983 because they are made of pure copper and have gone up in value.  A real copper penny is worth somewhere around 7 cents.  Metal currency has value especially if it is silver and not silver clad.  A paper dollar does not have much value at all.  That is why when the treasury takes back old, damaged, worn paper money....they just burn it.  They don't want you to have it, either!  Up in smoke!

Anyway, roll your pre1983 pennies and keep them as a future spendable currency.  Anything after 1983 you can take to the bank or spend.  I recommend that you go to your favorite fast food place and enjoy using up the newer pennies that are not all copper that turn green and corrode.  Better yet, depending on your amount of semi-copper pennies...stock up with non-perishables.  Even the newer pennies will have some value, but not as much as the older, real coper ones.  While your at it or thinking about it, save your older nickles, too.

So...now you have my two cents worth which is probably worth around 14 cents.  "A penny for your thoughts?"  Remember when a penny would actually but something?  Now you are surprised to get it back in change.

 Colossians Ch. 1: 10

 

Not an easy task, walking in such shoes as Peter writes of.  Easy to read and add to a blog, but not so easy to practice.  I find that as hard as I try I keep putting my foot into my mouth.  I have a big foot and a small mouth.  Once I get my foot wedged into my mouth it is pretty hard to get it out again.  Or...I am inclined to mouth inane, stupid things and once coupled with my big foot...well, the taste just isn't too yummy.  But I learn.  And I try to walk worthily without leaving my footprints all over my face.
